Shot in dark: Id unknown mini (possibly trailer)

9 years ago

A friend who is no longer responsive (maybe changed providers, maybe worse things) sent me leaves of this mini. She thought it was Galiwinku or Boolaroo, but to my eyes it doesn't fit either of those, though closer to Galiwinku perhaps? She also said it was a trailer, but I can't verify that yet...this is the first flowering of the pots that resulted.


Anyone care to advance a theoretical id ?

    Gee,,,,it reminds me of one of the Lyon oldie trailers. Theoretically of course. Sweetheart trail? Or one of the ones hybridized at that time. There was another one also that had that look. I do really like it though. Just sayin'!!!! Rosie

    I think it's pretty too, a nice silver lilac tone. I also like how double even the first flowers were. Like everyone I would love to know possibilities for my NO Id trailer (lol), despite thoughts I was getting an known variety.

    Well Rosie, I did start about ten leaves of this variety, I have a whole other mini pot full of almost ready to bloom and *I* think same variety as this. And there's no way I need all the babies that ten leaves made.

    Umm, yes, I need another AV like I need a hole in the head...but hey, what have you got to offer me? (is your tradelist accurate? (haven't looked yet))

    Could it be Rob's Vanilla Trail or too light pink?

    I'd say that vanilla trail is a few shades too light, but darn close...let me look a their leaves (closeup on web).

    Also the leaves on this trailer are kinda jagged, whereas vanilla trail is a more even rounded shape.

    I have Vanilla Trail but my orginal one didnt make it and I have some small plantlets so cant remember... but I really think it is!

    Carefully compare the leaves and the flowers. Shapes, sizes, and colors and that will help you to be sure. There are some look a likes that are fairly close but they may have larger flowers or slightly different petal shapes, etc. Leaves on mine vary somewhat between smooth or jagged edged, light or much darker with veining depending on time of year or where I have it placed on my shelves, age, etc.

    The only thing that really makes me wonder with yours is the flowers seem slightly cup shaped. Vanilla Trail has slightly puffed out rounded flowers with the center being higher set than the edges. Also there's no trace of purple in it, though that could be your photo color could be off a little. Whatever it is, enjoy it!

    I'd suggest you Google, Google, Google for pink double trailers and eye those flowers and leaves very closely. You can always send a photo to the Violet Barn as well and ask their opinion. If in doubt, just call it a NOID and don't worry about it. No shame in it. I have a lovely NOID or two myself.

    Well, the house ac is set to 75, is that cool? Yes, I know it shall forever be a noid, just looking for ideas on what it could be. The color has as much purple as pink in it

    That's on the warm side once you add in lights, if you are using lights. If there is any trace of purple at all, it's probably not Rob's Vanilla Trail. Or at least I've never seen one with any hint of purple in it.

    No light. Natural southern exposure. Which probably makes it even hotter.
